TUTORIAL: Opening multiple programs with one shortcut

Well... I'm using a bot on my online game and I was getting annoyed at the fact that i need to open multiple programs
to get it running, so that's why i made a shortcut that will open them all in just one double-click, and now i share it to you guys

To start, you must know where the program's ".exe" is located (the file path).
Now if you're having trouble with the file path name, do this:

Look for the ".exe" file of your program.
Right-click it and choose "send to" then "desktop".
Go to your desktop and look for that shortcut.
Right-click > properties > the "Target" line is already highlighted
and all you need to do is copy it

Now that you figured out where those programs are, time to make a shortcut.
Open up Notepad/Wordpad/Any Text Editor.

On the first line, type

Code:

@ECHO OFF

We will run a batch file so the code above will close the cmd window after it runs.

Then we need to change directory and start the programs, like the example below:

Code:

cd "C:\Program Files\folder\"
Start Program Name.exe

take note: C:\Program Files\folder\Program Name.exe is the location of the file and the file name itself,
so the only line you'll be placing after "cd" is is the file location (C:\Program Files\folder\) and the line
you'll be placing after "Start" is the file itself plus its extension (.exe) (i haven't tried opening other types)

Now if you want to open multiple programs, just copy the code above and specify the location of the
next program and its file name+extension

After you're done with the code, click on the File> Save As> TheShortcutNameHere.bat
Then below it, change the "Save As type" to "All".

Example:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
cd "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
Start firefox.exe

cd "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\"
Start chrome.exe

The code above will open both firefox and google chrome. (another note: always wrap the paths with " ", DO NOT wrap the file names with " ")

Now, say that you don't like the icon and you want to change it.
First, place the ".bat" file somewhere that you want to hide it, right-click it and "Send To" > "Desktop"
You'll now see the shortcut of the ".bat" file, now just right-click it and change the icon, and you're done!

That is all.

P.S. don't focus on the botting part, lol.
and for those who can understand the code,
i needed to change the directory because some programs have errors when you run it without the "cd" part

 

Code:

@ECHO OFF
:F
ECHO Ursawarrior is awesome
GOTO F

save as THANKS.BAT
